Over the weekend many Texas Democrats decided to "fight for democracy" by attempting to prevent the democratic process from playing out in their state. In doing so they fled to the occasional home state of former President Barack Obama, who had this to say about the situation: 

A "power grab that undermines our democracy"?

As was pointed out in an earlier story, a 2012 story in The New Yorker about Obama pointed out how his national political career was launched in part with the assistance of gerrymandering that Barack had a personal hand in helping with: 

In 1996, during his first run for office, in the Illinois State Senate, Obama defeated his former political mentor Alice Palmer by successfully challenging her nominating petitions and forcing her off the ballot, effectively ending her career. A few years later, Illinois Democrats, after toiling in the minority in the Senate, gerrymandered the state to produce a Democratic majority. While drafting the new political map, Obama helped redraw his own district northward to include some of Chicago’s wealthiest citizens, making the district a powerful financial and political base that he used to win his U.S. Senate seat, a few years later.

"Gerrymandering for me but not for thee" is the order of the day for these Democrats.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee called out the Obama hypocrisy this way: 

When any politician on the Left says something is a "threat to democracy" that word translates to "Democrats" every single time. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda and domestic lunacy.
